About Dana
LCSW in New York with 10 years of experience, Dana Andrews focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, and depression. She helps people work through life changes, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, career questions, bipolar needs, ADHD, and coaching-related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and aim to be straightforward and practical.
Dana uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also draws on mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing. In sessions she listens for what matters most, then helps people try concrete changes and new ways of coping.
Her approach is direct and collaborative. Dana asks specific questions, reflects what she hears, and checks in about what strategies are helpful. She introduces simple tools from CBT and DBT when they match a person’s goals, and she guides mindfulness exercises to ease overwhelming moments.
Over a decade of practice has included addressing communication problems, family stress, immigration-related concerns, financial anxiety, and multicultural issues. Dana also supports people working on life purpose, self-love, personality challenges, and women’s or young adult issues.

How Dana applies therapy methods online
Dana commonly uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in her practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and letting the client lead topics while the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that help in intense mood states and relationship conflicts.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Dana will talk with a person about goals and try methods that fit those goals and preferences. She regularly checks what is working and adjusts tools or pacing based on feedback so the plan stays relevant to day-to-day needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. It can also let people use audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or schedule a session during a break from work. Ask about the session types offered when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first visit.
